After a few days out to travel Scotland without radio or internet coverage, I will continue my investigation now.
And we start with a local incident, with two men being held under arrest after shooting dead a man in the back of a car. This report took up four sentences.
BBC News managed to shun a 24-Death incident to its Other News section, as civil unrest in Kenya left two-dozen dead. However, to the BBC’s credit, there was a long and detailed report on the incident.
Occasionally we hear of a tragedy that creates grave evidence for the existence of Sod’s Law. A man fell off a bridge after he had stopped to adjust the straps on his load whilst driving a lorry. He leant back, and was gone.
Reported news on a motorway crash whereby a family of four were killed by some despicable being driving up the wrong way of the motorway. Car Deaths I have noticed aren’t as commonly reported as other, more unusual ones, it seems. However, five people have died not through someone’s intentions, beliefs or prejudices, just their absolute lack of social awareness to realise their actions can risk the lives of others, and the arrogance not to act upon that notion.
